 Citat:... Supermarine Spitfire Mark VB, serial R6923, designation 'QJ-S', of No 92 Squadron RAF based at Biggin Hill, Kent, banking towards the photographing aircraft on the summer evening of 19th May 1941 with P/o Allan Wright at the controls. R6923 was originally a Mark I, later converted to a Mark V after having served with No. 19 Squadron and No. 7 Operational Training Unit in 1940. It was shot down over the sea by a Messerschmitt Bf109 on 22nd June 1941, just under one month later.

 Citat:Three Spitfire LF Mark VBs of No. 244 Wing RAF based at Bu Grara, flying in close starboard echelon formation off the Tunisian coast after escorting light bombers on a sortie to Mareth, on March 23rd 1943. Nearest the camera is AB502 IR-G, the personal aircraft of the Wing Leader, Wing Commander I R "Widge" Gleed, which he flew when he was shot down and killed over Cap Bon on 16 April 1943, while the two accompanying aircraft are ER220 UF-V and EP481 UF-F of No. 601 Squadron RAF. All three are fitted with Aboukir air filters and have 'clipped' wings in order to assist low-level performance... https://www.facebook.com/HowdiColour/photos/a.8132.....mp;theater
 Citat:The Spitfire FXII had been in service for over a year when this shot was taken on 12 April 1944 of a flight Friston-based aircraft from No 41 Squadron, over the South Downs in Sussex. The main aircraft in full view are EB-B MB882, EB-D MB858, EBH - MB794, the other aircraft just out of shot are MB840/EB-J, MB862/EB-E, & MB843/EB-K.
The nearest aircraft, is MB882. In all this Spitfire Mk. FXII participated to 125 sorties including 30 anti-diver patrols, completing 153 hours and 20 minutes in operations. In this shot she is being flown by Flight Lieutenant Donald H. Smith (RAAF)...
Essentially a Mk V airframe mated to Rolls-Royce’s powerful 1,735hp Griffon engine (which gave it a top speed of about 390mph at 18,000ft), the Mk XII was a low-level interceptor, equipping two home-defence squadrons... https://www.facebook.com/HowdiColour/photos/a.8132.....mp;theater
